Will traffic police check modified flowing turn signals?
2 Answers
Modified flowing turn signals will not be checked by traffic police for the following reasons: 1. Normal situation: Installing flowing turn signals is a normal modification. 2. Note: As long as the installed parts do not interfere with driving or obstruct the vehicle's license plate. Although modifying flowing turn signals is not illegal, it's best to report the modification to the vehicle management office afterwards. Information about flowing turn signals: 1. Flowing turn signals: These are turn signals that create a dynamic flowing effect when activated, resembling flowing water. 2. Vehicle models: Many current vehicle models come equipped with flowing turn signals, such as Audi R8, Volkswagen Golf, MG 6, Dongfeng Venucia Star, Great Wall VV7, VV5, etc.
Modifying sequential turn signals may indeed be subject to traffic police inspection, especially in regions with strict traffic enforcement. Chinese traffic regulations impose clear restrictions on vehicle modifications, requiring all lighting systems to comply with national standards, such as specified flashing frequency and brightness limits. Non-standard sequential turn signals can easily distract other drivers or cause misunderstandings about your turning intentions, thereby increasing accident risks. I once had a friend who was pulled over for installing similar lights, and the traffic police immediately ordered corrective action and imposed a fine, citing unauthorized modifications. It's advisable to check whether the product has CCC certification before making any modifications or consult professional institutions—don't prioritize aesthetics over regulations. Road safety should always come first to avoid unnecessary trouble.
